Palm Garden is a station on the Port Authority of Allegheny County's light rail network, located in the Mount Washington neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The stop is located in a segment of track where The T runs parallel to the South Busway. Shared with many bus routes, it serves as a transfer station, and also provides access to residences along the back slope of Mount Washington. The station is named for the large Palm Garden Apartments complex, which is centered on the stop.
